Why Choose Between Nonwoven and Woven Wire Mesh? Combine Them for Filtration Success!

Combining nonwoven media with woven wire mesh in filtration applications offers a balanced approach to tackling efficiency, pressure drop, and cleanability. By using these materials in a multi-layer configuration, we can address the limitations of each and maximize performance.

Technical highlights:

• Nonwoven media: High particle retention efficiency, particularly for fine particulates, though they tend to increase pressure drop over time.
• Woven wire mesh: Precise, narrow pore size distribution (DTW) and excellent cleanability (ODW), though they may not match the initial filtration efficiency of nonwoven materials.

When layered:

• You achieve better depth filtration while maintaining low pressure differential.
• Cake filtration occurs more predictably, reducing the risk of media plugging.
• Nonwovens handle fine particles, while woven wire mesh provides structural support and enhances cleanability.
